Sony STR-DH130

Written By Baard, Virginia on Monday, July 27, 2015

I am very satisfied with this product. I don't have much to compare except the great customer service I received at Crutchfield. Anything they carry will see me as a customer.

Good receiver for the money.

I got this to replace a receiver outside on my back deck. Works great & sounds fine for what I want it for. I'm partial to Yamaha, but this had a better price since I am using it outside. It is covered to keep out of the elements. Paired with Cambridge Soundworks Outdoor Speakers and a cheap dvd player to play cd's on. Puts out plenty of volume to drown out a neighbors 4 yappy dogs with The Grateful Dead (which she hates).

Pros:Good performance/cost ratio. Plenty of power. Easy use out of box. Fast, reliable service from Crutchfield.

Cons:Can only search for radio stations. Does not appear to have manual tuning.
Digital readout for everything. Much prefer older models which have selector knobs & & finer tuner adjustment.
I miss the loudness button from years ago.

Basic as it gets

This is a basic basic receiver. I used it in combo with a sonos controller in order to provide my customer with standard radio options for times when the internet is down. They live in a very rural area with somewhat unreliable internet

Sony STR-DH130

This Sony receiver is very powerful. I am very pleased with its performance. The price of the unit is great and it arrived in perfect condition. It was very easy to hook up and the remote is simple to operate.

Good for the Money

I just wanted something to amplify a television in my bedroom. It was either this, or two other brands Crutchfield doesn't carry. One was on close out from a local retail store. Never saw an actual close up of the one item in person, the other one on close out has a poor reputation and did not look well made inside. I trust Sony more, and so far, every Sony item I have that is manufactured in Malaysia has performed flawlessly over many years. The unit does a lot. It's all done electronically, every button you push, every knob you turn. The buttons could be better. The unit overall does more than I needed to amplify a bedroom television. I hooked up a Terk FM antenna which helped some. I collect and use many old receivers from the 1970s like the Pioneer SX-1250 and the Kenwood KR-9600. I have two, two-channel receivers from the 1990s that have a much heavier build-quality than this- however, I am pleased with this model for its price. It is well built to specs. I am pleased.

Pros:Small enough to stack in a bedroom. Well built. Versatile- you can re-assign buttons to perform other functions, it has many inputs. 90 watts per channel. Very nice remote. Excellent for the price.

Sony STR-DH130 Review

Purchased to replace a 1980s vintage Technics SA-206. Was hoping it would last my lifetime...Wanted a basic, quality receiver for music...and this had all the features I needed, was priced well. Other Sony products over the years have performed flawlessly, so I expect the same. Like Crutchfield for order fulfillment, quality service (if needed), and knowing the selection they carry is already pre-selected to deliver value and quality. (could spend eons on other online retailers to arrive at the same decision).

Pros:Easy to setup right out of the box for antennae and external speakers. 5 minutes max to swap my stereo units. Intuitive user interface with dials, push buttons, display, etc... Everything I expected in Sony was evident in the box, manual, unit packaging to protect scratches, all accessories included, etc... I'm not a sound audiophile...but do recognize a quality sound over a tinny/scratchy sound...and the sound is deep/rich. Again, I was looking for a quality basic receiver just for music.

Sony STR-DH130 Receiver

Very affordable receiver that delivers a punch of power with wonderful clarity at low to medium volume levels when connected to a good auality pair of speakers.

Pros:Nice balance of tone. Bass levels are nice and do not disrupt the distortion level tones at mid to low high volumes. Affordable price and style make this a very welcoming part to anyone's lower priced stereo.

Nice Budget Grade Receiver!

Great basic receiver, especially in this price range. I paired this with a set of Polk Audio TSi100 bookshelf speakers and they work great together! Seems like the more you crank it up, the better the package sounds. I may add a sub down the road but for now I'm definitely happy rocking out in my basement workshop!

Very good receiver

This is my first receiver which I purchased evaluating price versus value. Not being heavily into stereo equipment beyond a good listening experience, this receiver more than fulfills that requirement. The setup was easy, the instructions clear, and I was enjoying the receiver in a short period of time. Paired with Primus speakers recommended by the Crutchfield advisor the sound is very good. I would definitely recommend this receiver for the average buyer.

Sony STR-DH130

Very good performance and excellent cable hookup features. Plenty of power for my use, especially for the price! The well laid out remote control is a small blessing and time saver too. I'd recommend this product to anyone......thanks Sony!

Simple 2-channel receiver

Written By mikem, florida on Tuesday, November 18, 2014

Got ready to burn some Christmas music with my 20+ year Sony GX10ES receiver and noticed an awful buzz from it and did not want to bother troubleshooting it so bought this at a good price 'no bells - no whistles' receiver which is perfect for my current needs. Thing is a steal at this price.

Fine Receiver/AMP

As usual with Sony products, this is a very high quality Receiver/Amp. I have a similar one, seventeen years old, which I now use in my studio. The cost is very affordable and operation is easy....I'm very happy with it!

Cons:The only and very slight complaint I'd voice is that the lettering MIGHT be a bit LARGER....aging eyes, you know....

It's fine for what I want it for.

I'm using this for my office PC sound and mp3 playing. It has replaced a 14 year old Sony receiver that died on me. I needed A and B outputs since I've run speaker wires out to the back patio too. In the office I'm using Bose AM3 speakers. So, I didn't need anything fancy or anything more than 2 channel for this usage.

One thing that took me by surprise was the "auto off" feature that turns the unit off after a period of time with no input signal. At first I thought there was something wrong. I was glad to see that it was supposed to do that and I have the ability to turn that feature off if I want to.

I've been using this new receiver for a couple of weeks now. If it lasts me 14 years like the other one did, I will be happy.

great value

I installed one of these in a friend's motorhome and he and his wife absolutely love it. They couldn't believe that a receiver this good could be had at Crutchfield's price point. I already had one in my workshop and was familiar with it so I recommended it to them. This product offers many features and excellent sound for a unit in this price range, and of course Crutchfield is the best dealer out there - PERIOD. Take it from me - you will be pleased with the STR-DH130.

Back in the saddle!

after a long absence from the world of stereo components (did the sound bar thing) we had missed having rich full music. For the price this is an excellent way back into that wonderful world. Clear sound in a 20 x 20' living room. I realize for the price to good value, but I didn't realize that would miss HD radio. I may try and find a fix for that.

Pros:Great sound at a value price

Cons:those darn dark buttons are near impossible to see without either a mini light or decent natural lighting! but, once remotes been programmed who cares?!

Decent, though Plain Vanilla Receiver

I wanted a straight forward stereo receiver without the surround sound capability. Crutchfield's sale price for this SONY receiver was irresistible so I purchased. In NYC FM reception is tough, but this receiver get high marks for pulling in many stations. Audio quality is quite good: frequency range is natural sounding without any prominence in a particular range of the audio spectrum. It claims to have 20 Hz to 20 Khz bandwidth, but I can't attest to it's low frequency performance because the speakers I have connected are not the greatest at the low end of the spectrum. But for my goals this receiver does the job very well and produces a very natural, balanced and overall listenable sound even at high levels. For the price, and if you don't need or want surround, this is a very listenable stereo receiver.

Good 2 channel reciever

For the price this unit can't be beat for a standard 2-channel system. Recommend this highly for multiroom speaker system used in conjunction with a push button speaker selector. Has sufficient output without using an amp.

Pros:For the price good 2 channel receiver with good output.

Cons:Interface with IPod or other like device is stereo but still sounds good. Just be careful when inserting stereo 2.5mm connection to ipod. Insert the connection then change inputs to where you made your connection.

Great Unit For My Needs

This unit is exactly what I expected, and maybe a little bit more. It is a very simple "Old School" receiver/amp, but it gives all the power I need. My main use for this unit is to use at the beach. We rock the beach with home stereo equipment powered by a generator. This amp gave me all the power I needed, even in a constant 20 mph wind. I had to max out the power because of the wind, but it did the job. 90 watts is all I will ever need! Very low distortion.

Pros:Very low distortion. Easy to use. Always use the "Portable" input when using iPhone, iPad, etc. for playing music. Using the other inputs didn't work as well. The Portable input requires a 3.5mm audio cable, not included.

Cons:None really. Great price and it does the job. It's a very simple unit. The FM antenna was pretty weak, so I bought a better one.

Sony STR-DH130 receiver

Looked for a plain receiver with capability of driving two sets of 8 ohm speakers at the same time. Asked Crutchfield advisor about a couple of different models and which one would fit my needs and he selected the Sony model. I very pleased with the receiver and sound great. I have bought the receiver with a 5 cd changer to put in my workshop but never made it there yet.

Pros:Had it hooked up and running in about 15 minutes. Sounds great with very good sound even at mid range and higher without much distortion. Great receiver for the price including free shipping !!!!

Wonderful receiver

This receiver delivers far more than you would expect for the price. The sound quality is just fabulous and perfect for my two speaker system. There is not a better bargain in my opinion than this receiver.

Pros:Great sound, does not consume a lot of energy, and for me it's perfect.

Sony STR-DH130 receiver

This unit replaced a 42 yr. old Sony STR-6045 receiver that gave me good service for a very long time. I like this new one, as it has quite a bit more power, and a "cleaner" sound. Very nice machine for the price. Volume control is a bit weird compared to my old unit, as it's stiffer feeling, and you need to turn it a lot further to get significant change in the volume. Other than that, I really am very satisfied. Good value in a basic stereo receiver!

Pros:Very good, clean sound
Plenty of power
Easy to use
Reasonable cost

Cons:Speaker connections seem a bit cheesy
FM antenna is just a piece of wire, but works OK

Not the reception we anticipated

We love to listen to NPR and other stations. We expected to have much improved reception....but we on occasion get a lot of static.....but otherwise...great sound for country western and Hispanic ! I learned from your companies tech person that we could purchase antenna....why not include it with receiver? Great customer service though!

Great Product, missing one feature.

Wonderful stereo receiver and amplifier. I purchased this primarily to drive my speaker system from the output on my new Samsung TV, which disables the mute/volume controls when speakers are set to external (Stupid). Anyway, the Sony STR-DH130 works perfectly with great sound quality and provides plenty of volume range and mute control available through the remote control. The only feature I miss is the ability to 'balance' the volume from left and right speakers (unless I missed something). My external speakers are self powered with separate volume controls, so not having balance control on the Sony is not an issue, just something I expected. It solves my problem with a super good price.

Pros:Good power to drive speakers, sensitive with good range volume control, well designed remote.

Sony STR-DH130

Great product for the price. Good sound quality, nice looking. As always Sony exceeds expectations. Fast shipping. Excellent Technical support. Great customer service people. Very professional. Price dropped after purchase and they refunded the difference with one quick phone call. I love dealing with Crutchfield.

Basic unit but good value

A pretty basic unit but for the price not a bad deal. Nothing at all fancy here so if you are looking for anything special look elsewhere. The AM antenna connection is unusual -- OK if you want to use the supplied loop, but not so convenient if you need a different antenna. The layout of the remote is poor, not as well organized as it should be. Overall audio performance is decent for the price.

"Everything I expected"

This Receiver is everything I was trying to find without breaking the bank. I went through two others from another retailer that were great till they went out within a month. I have a Sony 300 disc player and four Sony large bookshelf speakers and it has plenty of power and sounds really great. Was well worth it.

VALUE!!

Great product for the value! I bought it to power four speakers two pioneers with a eight inch woofer that are about 40 years old and two newer bookshelf speakers in my bedroom. Powers all of that great! The Sony quality is evident in the build quality and finish. Love the remote I was using a 30 year old receiver before this and I expect this one to last another 30 years.

Pros:Quality, Price, Value, Build Quality, Finish, & A name brand you can trust

Wonderful stereo receiver

For $150 it's perfect. Plenty of power. I use it to drive two pair of outdoor Yamaha speakers. The only complaint that I have it that you cannot change between the two pair using the remote control. I have a pair on channel A on one deck and a pair on channel B on another deck. I have to go to the receiver and manually switch between channels. You can have both channels on at the same time too, but again, it has to be changed at the receiver.

Love it

Bought to replace an aging SONY, drives my Warfdale tower speakers with great range...was just what I was seeking and at a great price. As always, Crutchfield's delivery was spot-on and their follow-up is excellent.

Great value

I think if this as the Toyota Camry of stereo receivers (maybe Lexus ES350?). Not top of the line, not a bunch of extra features, maybe not the most exciting receiver out there. But it works perfectly, does everything you need it to do, and is extremely well-priced. And if my experience with other Sony products is any indication, it'll last forever. Obviously this isn't a high-end receiver. It you're an audiophile, this likely isn't the receiver for you. That said, THD on this unit -- while higher than a more expensive receiver -- is still really low. I doubt any difference can be detected by a non-expert listener. I was contemplating a $400 Yamaha unit, but decided it wasn't worth the extra cost. Glad I did. This is a rock-solid, value receiver. If you just need a basic stereo receiver, this is the one to get. Only drawback is no phono input. I am using this to stream digital audio via AirPort express, and I have it coupled with an Audioengine D1external DAC. An argument could be made a more expensive unit that comes with DAC/phono is worth the extra cost, if you need those features. If not, this is just a great value. PS -- it'll drive two sets of speakers simultaneously, which was important for me.

Pros:great value, drives two sets of speakers simultaneously.

Cons:no phono input, no DAC... but who would expect those features at this price point?

Great basic stereo receiver.

This an excellent value if you are looking for a sound source to drive a set of speakers for a specific dedicated use. I used it to power a couple of outdoor Yamaha's on my front porch/patio for both entertaining purposes and personal enjoyment. The receiver has plenty of power for my uses and has excellent spacial separation which I don't see in a lot of the modern home theater receivers. It kind of takes me back to when the sound of the music was much more important than the ability to recreate sound affects.

Pros:Good clean sound.

Cons:Tuning to different stations could be simpler. I don't so much like auto tuning but it does have the capability to override this. You just have to read the owners manual to find out how.

Nice receiver for intended purpose & price

I purchased this receiver to play my Bose outdoor patio speakers with Sirius Radio connected. It sounds great, easy to use, and I can use the remote on the patio for volume control. I have not tried it cranked up but this was not the intended purpose. It's plenty loud to hear perfectly throughout the whole back yard.

Sony STR-DH130

I only set it up for CD music, so it was easy to set up! Easy to operate. It has a nice style. I have a Sony DVD/VCR combo which is excellent also! I have two minor complaints! The first complaint is the manual doesn't show how to bend up the AM loop antenna. The second complaint is I don't understand the instructions on being able to use the receivers remote to also control the Sony DVD/VCR!!

Sony STR-DH130

I had been lookinig for a quality performance, reasonably priced, receiver to replace a larger, older model, Pioneer system. I located the Sony STR-DH130 online and began comparing product reviews and seller feedback. Crutchfield won over all. Crutchfield offered a competitive price, extended warranty, and FREE shipping to Alaska which is something rarely offered by lower 48 companies. I received the Sony STR-DH130 in a matter of days. The setup installatiion was quick and the sound quality excellent.

Pros:I am pleased with the appearance and hassle free setup installation of this compact multi-functional unit. Over the years, I have learned to rely on Sony. Once again, Sony has proven to be superior while affordable.

Cons:I have not been able to setup the AM/FM Radio due to poor reception in my area (Alaska). Perhaps with more time and patience, I will find a solution. For now, I'm grateful for the quality of music that fills my cabin.

It's a Sony!!!

I have always liked Sony for audio/video electronics, so it was no surprise to me to find this stereo receiver to work as well as it does. 32 FM presets are more than enough to ensure all my favorite stations have a preset. With my Sony phonograph, I can finally listen to my albums they way the music contained is meant to be heard.

Perfect receiver for perfect price

My 20+ year old Techiques "close to top of the line" receiver finally went into Stand By and wouldn't come out. That. and the fact that one of the "B" speaker channels was gone made me start a search for a replacement. This receiver is used for working out (w/ headphones), playing CD's or radio or whatever when we play ping pong, and was hopefully going to push speakers in my garage/wood shop (and all right, I'll admit it, it also makes my XBox games sound GREAT).

It's perfect. exactly what i wanted at the price I wanted to pay. It's pushing two maranz 3 way towers on A and two Bose 501s on B. Both sound excellent. Head phones work great. I highly recommend for an everyday work horse receiver. If you are looking as an audiophile, and are seeking top of the line components, seek elsewhere. If you are looking for a steady, good sounding unit to push everyday music or other things, it's well worth the sticker price.

Pros:Everything about the unit.

Cons:The ONLY drawback so far is that you cant have headphones AND speakers going at the same time. For a drummer like me, that's kinda important to my wife who cant hear the music now, only my pounding :0)

great two channel receiver

Great 2 channel receivre. crisp clear deliver. no feed back no background noise ample slection inupt for anything. Drives my bose 301 very efficently. Easy set up good response. Remote control controls everything Would def buy another one. Crutchfield deliver amazing less than 36 hours. Free shipping Great service. Very very pleased with Crutchfield.

Great Receiver

This purchase was made to replace my beloved 40 year old Kenwood 5340 Quad Receiver. This was easy to hook up to my Bose speakers and the remote works great. I have it powering my Kenwood CD player and the sound quality is crystal clear. This is a Great Product and I hope it lasts at least for 10 years.

simple but works

bass is good not over booming. I'm 64 and dont like [BOOM BOOM BOOM] works well on directv needed to sent the sound to my patio. The sound great while smoking a good cigar and drinking a really good ALE.

Just what I needed.

This amplifier was what I needed to replace a 19-year-old NAD stereo amp that I've been using with my Sirius satellite radio. I didn't need all the bells and whistles this unit has, but for the $150 price, who can complain? I was looking for an amplifier that could receive and amplify the Sirius signal, then send it to the two sets of speakers I have, one in my office and one in a separate room. The STR-DH130 does that in a simple click of one button.

My only complaint is that the part of the display that shows which room has been selected is very tiny, probably like a 2-point font would be on a computer. That wouldn't be a problem for someone with young eyes, but to my 72-year-old eyes, it's a different story.
